When something goes wrong, why does it always seem like it happens at the most inconvenient time? If you are in the middle of a workday, important event or it’s late at night and your dentures break, you may be wondering what you can do about it. While you have several options, your first step should be to contact your denturist at Baker Lanoue Denture Clinic. Thanks to our on-site laboratory, we offer emergency denture repair services that can be performed in no time so you can get back to living your life with safe and functional dentures.

There’s no need to be alarmed if you have suddenly broken your dentures. Remain calm and follow the tips below:

• Determine the Cause: There are only a few ways in which dentures can break so your first step is to determine the cause. For instance, examine the denture to see if a tooth has broken off, your denture has broken in half, the pink acrylic chipped off or a clasp has broken. This will help your denturist figure out the best course of action when it comes to repairs.
• Evaluate the Damage: After your denture breaks, it must be removed immediately to avoid injury or further damage. Depending on how damaged your denture is, you and your denturist can determine the extent of the repair. In the future, protect them from breaking by handling them with care upon cleaning and removal.
• Avoid DIY Repairs: While you may find denture repair kits available at the drugstore, or be tempted to use super glue, these “quick fixes” are not advisable. While this may seem like an easy solution, it may eventually lead to more damage so it is best to leave your repairs to a denturist.
• Call Your Denturist: No matter what type of damage has occurred, it is always in your best interest to call your denturist as soon as possible. With our emergency denture repair services, we can see you quickly so you can have as little disturbance to your daily routine as possible.
